States and colleges are increasingly turning to the courts to help protect the integrity of big-time college athletics.

Former University of Southern California tailback Reggie Bush may have to return his Heisman Trophy if the NCAA can prove that he had improper dealings with a sports agent while at USC.

The SAF exists in part because of the Knight Commission’s recommendations.

“The commission advocated for a set of principles to help cover the cost of attendance for the very needy,” Perko says. When the NCAA signed a new contract with CBS, the document included a clause that routed a portion of the revenue towards the creation of the SAF.

While organizations like the Knight Commission are working to level the playing field, some say there is a danger in doing too much.

“The NCAA has done a lot of things to make the situation better,” Morgan says. “We should stop and see what’s going on, where we are, and take a step back before we do anything knee jerk.”
